A JFFS2 filesystem sync cancels the write buffering dirty work and performs the flush manually. However, the flag which indicates that the work is active is not reset. Thus, if a sync happens while the work is pending, the flag will never be reset resulting in future work never being started. The flag is now reset under the appropriate lock along with the timer cancellation.
